====== Net Yaroze Collection ====== //Net Yaroze Collection// is an unofficial compilation of all currently available games made with [[company:sony|Sony's]] [[hardware:playstation#Net Yaroze]]. ===== Games ===== List of games, and where to find them on the disc. Later with descriptions, opinions, and perhaps images. SELECT+START, when used in games in the two 33-game lists, will return you to their menu. ==== Opening menu ==== * [[#1st menu with 33 games]] * [[#2nd menu with 33 games]] * **//F-Racer//** - racing - by Gerhard Rittenhofer * **//Funky Beans//** - falling blocks - author unknown * **//Gasgar//** - multiplayer - author unknown * **//Gikadiver//** - [[genre:shooters#Vertical Shooter|vertical shooter]] - author unknown * **//Laydion Limit Breaker//** - racing - by Hideki 'Uny' Hara * The Blueberry Hill: The aim here it to avoid oncoming objects, on a straight track. The camera makes it a bit awkward. * **//Manic Miner//** - //[[game:Manic Miner]]// port - by Andy Noble * **//Ping//** - pong - by Matt Veran * **//Ping Ping//** - pong - by Matt Veran * The Blueberry Hill: side-view //[[game:Pong]]//, with a net, and gravity. * **//Robot Ron//** - [[genre:shooters#Arena Shooter|arena shooter]] - by Matt Veran * **//Roller//** - by Matt Veran * The Blueberry Hill: A fiddly, //[[game:super_monkey_ball_series|Super Monkey Ball]]//, type game. * **//Emotion//** - [[genre:Thrus-type]] - by Jon Prestidge, and Matt Veran * The Blueberry Hill: It's a sort-of-neat, 3D, single-screen, thrus-type. Levels are solved by pushing colliding balls of matching colours, and the player's ability to manoeuvre them is comlicated in various ways. * **//Breach//** [[genre:shooters#Vertical Shooter|vertical shooter]] - author unknown * **//Defender//** //[[game:Defender]]// port - by Ben James * **//Magic Forest//** - author unknown * The Blueberry Hill: Bad, but unique action game. The player's sprite is sort of fascinating. * **//Katapila//** - author unknown * Loki Laufeyson: Seems like it would work really well on mobile phones. Play it on very hard mode for best results. * **//Alien Looter//** - [[[[genre:shooters#Single-screen Shooter|single-screen shooter]] - by Ben James * **//Squeak//** - puzzle - author unknown ==== 1st menu with 33 games ==== - **//Terra Ingognita//** * Loki Laufeyson: A really hard 3D platformer. the translation of the opening cutscene is legendary. * The Blueberry Hill: The only one I remember playing previously. Still pretty interesting. I like how the post-cutscene introduction (when the credits roll) quietly demonstrates the player's actions as they head to the starting point. - **//Blitter Boy Operation: Monster Hall//** - arena shooter * The Blueberry Hill: Interesting //[[game:Smash TV]]// type thing. - **//The Incredible Coneman//** - **//A Dog Tale//** - **//Rocks 'n' Gems//** - **//Total Soccer//** - **//Mah Jongg//** - **//Haunted Maze//** - **//Bouncer 2//** - [[genre:breakanoids|breakanoid]] * The Blueberry Hill: A Breakanoid with a complicated mechanic: instead of reflecting the ball the player juggles two, effected by gravity. - **//Stonegate//** - **//Gas Girl - platformer - by//** * monaco: The game to play if you have a fetish for girls farting. - **//Hover Racing//** - **//Insects//** * The Blueberry Hill: Clever puzzle game based round manipulating enemies who always walk toward you. - **//Nana Tan//** - **//Cat Game//** - **//Tan Tank//** - **//Columns//** - **//A Bob//** * Loki Laufeyson: A nice little bobsledding/parachuting thing. it only lasts about a minute, but it is a fun minute, and the little men look cool, too. * monaco: It's really cute, especially in the ending for your team's performance. - **//Cart//** - **//Bom!//** - **//RC Race//** - **//Pushy 11b//** - **//Psychon//** - **//Adventure Game//** - **//Super Bub Contest//** - **//Pandora's Box//** - **//Opera of Destruction//** - **//Time Slip//** - **//Tanx//** - **//Decaying Orbit//** * Loki Laufeyson: A surprisingly deep space shooter, with two main gimmicks: every planet has a gravitational pull depending on its size (you can even use gravity for a slingshot effect to go really fast. you'll get flung off the map to die in deep space, though), and you can change how your ship distributes fuel, though this isn't really that useful. - **//Blockz//** - **//Video Poler Simulator//** - **//Yaroze Rally//** ==== 2nd menu with 33 games ==== - **//Net Yaroze Intro//** - Demo - **//Bendy Demo//** - **//3D Breakout Game//** - **//Car Racing//** - **//Clone//** - [[genre:doom_clones|Doom Clone]] - * The Blueberry Hill: Though the lock and key stuff is pretty redundant, it's quite creepy. - **//3D Demo//** - **//Feedback Demo//** - **//Flag Demo//** - **//ManicX//** - **//Snave//** - **//Sound 2 Light//** - Visualiser - **//Tunnel Demo//** - **//Pune Yaroze//** - **//Car Demo//** - **//Between The Eyes//** - **//Second Offence Demo//** - **//Fatal Fantasy VII//** * The Blueberry Hill: By [[company:fatal|the same people]] as //Terra Incognita//. Just a demo of a few screens with [[character:cloud_strife|Cloud's]] model, and a mix of [[game:final_fantasy_series|FF]], and original pre-rendered backgrounds. It ends before the first battle starts. Yaroze games are really small: they have to fit in the PS RAM, so it's pretty unlikely the game--whatever they wanted to do with it--could have been made. - **//Fujiyama//** - **//[Japanese text] PS Ver.T//** - **//Appointed Station//** - **//Same The Boulder Man//** - **//Gravitation//** - **//Z2//** - **//Combat3d//** - **//Revolution//** - **//Snowball Fight//** - **//One on One//** - **//Invaders from Mars!//** - **//Hover Car Racing//** - **//Sphere//** - **//Super Ramp Skater//** - **//Inertia//** - **//Jagot//** ===== Related links ===== * [[http://forums.selectbutton.net/viewtopic.php?t=30410|Let's Yaroze!! 83-IN-1]] - Forum thread, with download link. * [[http://lunaticobscurity.blogspot.com.au/search/label/yaroze|Net Yaroze Round-Up]] - Series of posts on Lunatic Obscurity. * [[http://yarozescene.co.uk/|Yaroze Scene]] * [[http://hermitgames.com/|Hermit Games]] - Matt Veran's website * [[http://blog.hardcoregaming101.net/2011/02/net-yaroze-on-ps1-we-need-you.html|Net Yaroze on PS1 – we need YOU]] - Hardcore Gaming 101 blog post, by John Szczepaniak.
